I have travelled to Holland six times to visit my father in Arnhem. My brother and sister accompany me on the journey, unaccompanied by adults. My father owns a pub called 'De Celtic Angel'. In '99 we travelled to Amsterdam for my sister's birthday. We went to the Madame Tussauds wax museum in Amsterdam, which was fun and very realistic. We were in a park called De Dam, which was full of pigeons.

The weather in Holland much like Ireland, except when it is hot in Holland it is really hot !

 

  The main foods I ate were frikandel special, which is a  Dutch sausage with mayonnaise, curry and onions inside    it. Other traditional foods are Ollie Bollen, which are a  pastry served only on New Years night. There is a theme park called  "6 Flags Holland" which we went to and it is just as good as the Eftaling, another Dutch theme park. Another Dutch

attraction is  Dolfinariom, a park completely dedicated to dolphins and other sea creatures.  

The city I stay in is called Arnhem which is so cool and so fun that you would never be bored! One day we went to Amsterdam and went on a trip down the Amstel River in a boat.

Bicycles are a familiar sight everywhere in the Netherlands. They provide cheap, environmentally-friendly transport and are easy to park and they have their own special paths .The "Diary of Ann Frank" is the story of a Jewish girl who went into hiding with her family during the Second World War. While in hiding, she kept a record of her feelings, her fears and her expressions in her diary .On 4th.  August 1944 the Frank family were transported to Auschwitz concentration camp.  Ann and her sister Margot were finally taken to Bergen-Belsen camp in Germany where Ann died of typhus a month before the war ended ,at the age of 15 .Her diary was discovered and published after the war.
